PAINTING WITH A PURPOSE

The R&D Events team spent the afternoon spray painting 220 drumsticks for next weeks Jam Session event.  At the event, each team will get a different color drumstick which will signify their specific team color as well as provide them with an additional “instrument”.  This unique Corporate Social Responsibility event is quickly becoming one of the most talked about events throughout the team building community and by far one of the most rewarding events that we offer; both for the students that receive the instruments and for our clients.

If you want to learn more about Jam Session or any of the nearly two dozen unique and award winning team building events that we have to offer, you can visit us online at rndevents.com.

All Work and No Play

R&D Events Team Outing

IT HAS TO BE FUN

What is the point of working all day if you never get the chance to have any fun?  At R&D Events, we take fun seriously – that is why when the skies are blue and the water is calm you are almost guaranteed to find us out on the water for a few mid-day laps around the lake.  Today we took the team out to Lake Mead in Southern Nevada for a 3 hour water-ski session.  The glass calm water made for some epic conditions and the talent aboard the S.S. R&D had everyone pushing the envelope.  Joining us on our R&D Events team outing today were:

Geoff Rhodes: Co-founder and National Sales Manager who is known more for his prowess on the mountains than the water.

JP Clearing the Wake

JP DeLay: Co-founder and head of Operations who is also a world class water-skier, bare footer, wakeboarder and just about anything that involves water.

Keena Staskal:  Longtime R&D Events employee who travels the country producing world class team building events who is also a darn good slalom skier.

Scott Duncan (aka. Scotty D): Look to hear more from Scotty D over the coming months as we will be partnering with him on a few events in Florida later this year.

When asked what she thought of her first team outing, Keena said “work should be enjoyable and every day at R&D Events is better than the next.  Spending the afternoon on the lake wasn’t too bad either”.  I have to agree – getting the chance to get out of the office for a few hours was just what our team needed.  Go figure, the company that is considered one of the premier teambuilding company’s in the country, took the day off for a little team building.  How ironic.

If you want to spend the day having a little more fun, contact us today!  We may even take you wake boarding…

R&D Events Celebrates 2nd Anniversary

R&D Events Celebrates it’s Second Anniversary

TWO YEARS IN BUSINESS!

Today marks the Second Anniversary of R&D Events!  As we look back on the past two years we find ourselves blessed to have had the opportunity to partner with some of the finest DMC’s in the country to help us grow into one of the country’s premier team building companies.  We would like to thank our friends at the following Destination Management Companies for all of their continued support and their willingness to take a chance on two relatively unknown guys.  It is because of these companies that we are the success we are today.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR PARTNERS (in alphabetical order)

TWO YEARS IN REVIEW:

It feels like only yesterday that JP and I sat at a booth inside the local Whole Foods Market and sketched out a plan to start a team building company.  From our first event at the Palms (a casino gaming tournament for 20 persons), to hosting the 3rd Annual Smokin in Mesquite BBQ tournament, to designing a custom Minute to Win It event for 500 persons, our journey has been filled with a lot of great memories.  As we take a minute to reflect on the past two years we are amazed at what we have been able to accomplish in such a short period of time.  Below are a few of our milestones:

  • 128 - the total number of events that we have executed
  • 11,996 – the total number of participants that have taken part in our team building events
  • 36 – the total number of uniquely different teambuilding events that we have executed
  • 3 – the number of states in which we have executed events in (Nevada, Arizona & Hawaii)
  • $5,250 – the total amount that R&D Events has donated to Friends of NV Wilderness through our partnership with 1% For The Planet

We are truly blessed to have found success in such a great city and we look forward to the next two years and beyond!   THANK YOU!
